Whos Titanium with all the lights in that first picture? That's a badarse looking rig. I wonder why it never made it to the "badest rigs II thread". Nice choice of photos! =).

The first summit was awsome, for the most part. The altitude did me in. This time I'm bringing Diamox. I booked the Best Western for my self and was quoted 145.00 a night. Last year I paid 118.00 a night for a double. Oh well still worth it.

Glad to see you're coming again Kent. If you want to crash in Co Spgs for a couple nights before, let me know. May help you get acclimated

Plenty of trails for stock rigs; plenty of trails for modified rigs to. The trail list they had last year listed any mod requirements when you signed up for runs (such as Black Bear).

I think a lot of folks ran Black Bear stock, I did. An excellent book to own and carry with you is Amazon.com: Guide to Colorado Backroads & 4-Wheel Drive Trails, 2nd Edition: Books: Charles A. Wells

The many trails are rated for difficulty. Although Black Bear is consider difficult, it is due to the narrow parts and steep drops (pucker factor). However, Toyota Trail Teams (I sure hope Toyota sponsors this group again next year - absolutely great people) provide superb spotting as we drove the difficult sections. The FJ Cruiser has the essentials for most trails: high clearance, good approach/departure/bendover angles, 4x4 low range, traction control and/or rear locking differential, and great brakes.

Hope to see you there.

We also nee to see who is going to Moab either before the summit or after. Maybe see when everyone wants to go....I missed it last year with Terry, Matt & Jerry and everyone else from the East Coast.

If I make it out to the summit (pretty sure at this point) then I definitely will hit up Moab either before or after. I cant see going there all the way from NY and not spending a little extra time to go there

Montana and I will be there. Just made our reservations at the Best Western. Now the hard part - waiting!

How far is the DEN airport from the Best Western Hotel.

I checked with AA and my ticket is $667.00 but I will also need a rental and the hotel room. I need to check how much I'll spend.
Anyone who want to split room (half/half) or anything, let know.
